From November 2011, shorter surveys containing a set of core questions were mailed to the 1921-26 cohort every six months after the return of the previous survey.
This six monthly survey has no finish date and therefore we continue to receive surveys for each wave.
Each row shows the total number of respondents, followed by the number of responses made each year, for each individual wave.
